The Hol!
Sin is
Beady.
-Every year we gather from far and
near a host of pretty things
for gift buyers. Those that
you like most are likely to
be the least expensive, and
there's no one to object if
you only come to look. It
is not a bad idea to buy
early, because shrewd
shoppers usually get away
with the best long before
Christmas time.
We enumerate below a

the result that I have never tried
any other kind of dressing. It stop?

A NEW INVENTION.
A Lock Proof Against Thieves ami Prow?
lers.
Prince Shortt, of Indiana, was in the
city yosterday with a new patent lock
that wilt revolutionize the thief nrotea
llou and lock business. The concern he
represents Is absolutely burglar proof
and there Is no possible ohanco for ono
of tho locks to bo forcod unless you
know tho combination.
It cannot be opened by anyone with?
out knowing the combination, which ad?
mits a,(MS changes. There is no more
chance for one ignorant of the combina?
tion to opeu one of these locks than
there Is for him to force the combination
look of a large safe.
He exhibits three styles and tlzes?the
ordinary door look, one for drawers,
while a third Is designed for trunks,
valises, &c. Bach of these is made of
solid brass and at a nominal cost, which
will place them within the reach of
everybody. Petty burglaries would be
reduced to a minimum when the use of
these new devices beoomes adopted.
Everybody should have ono and do away
with the family arsenal, whioh has
caused the death of bo many innocent
people.
It has boon said that the old-time pad
lock was made only for protection
against honest men and fools; the one
not wanting to opou It, while the other
was too ignorant to do so. None of the
old-time looks are at all reliable, as
tfcoy can ba opened at the will of the
thief. This lock is worthy of the con?
sideration of all readers of Tin: Times

Salvlnl Creates a Furore In "The Three
Guardsmen."
Alexander Salvlnl made his appear
anoe last night at the Aoademy ot Muslo
in Dumas' romantic drama, "The Three
Guardsmen," before a large and brilliant
audience, and earned one of the most
nattering reoeptlons that has yet been
accorded an actor in this olty. As
Phlllippl D'Artagan 'the royatering
rollicking muskotoer (a character in
which he shines pro-eminent) he roused
his audience to the highest pitch of en?
thusiasm by the impetuous force and
virility of bl3 acting; and was compelled
to acknowledge repeated recalls at the
end of each act.
His performance la9t night will live
In the memory of our theatre-goera as
a masterpiece. While Salvlnl's power?
ful personality dominated the entire
performance, bis support, with one or
two exo-jptione, was very strong. Aae
laide Fitz Allen deserving especial men?
tion for her Qne impersonation of Anne
of Austr a, tho powerful queen of
Louis XIII
The one jarring noto of an otherwise
perfect performance was tho extrava?
gantly melodramatic acting of Augusta
de Forost, who as Lady do Winter, tho
treacherous spy of Cardinal Richelieu,
confessedly lent her aid to Mb wicked
schemes as a means of being r r r-a
venged on ber betrayer, tue Dukn of
Buckingham, re/uln-u wh:m and Anne
of Austria, Richelieu's machinations
were directed.
